從聖母院的大火說說教堂的作用

(2021-10-13 19:03:14) 下一個

作為文化上的瑰寶,藝術裏的珍品,巴黎聖母院被大火燒壞了,謂之惋惜。據維基百科,失火點位於教堂閣樓處,大火導致其尖頂坍塌,中後部的木質屋頂完全被燒毀,而其石製的拱頂大部分得以保存。作為 “法國和歐洲文化的一個象征”, 在得以修複之前,據說不再對遊客們開放,因此這會讓未來的很多遊客不禁失望。

對於基督徒而言,由於神不住人手所造的殿,所以從主的福音角度上說,巴黎聖母院與普通的教堂一樣: 作用就是傳揚耶穌基督的福音,主的信徒們通過在教堂聽道,聚會和讚美而使福音得以鞏固,從而在主的愛裏接出果子來。其實凡具備這些功能的地方都可稱之為教堂,比如家庭教會。聖經裏說,神不住在教會的建築物裏,因為他不住人手所造的殿,而是住在他自己親手所造的殿。人的身體就是神親手所造的,因此,我們的身體才是神真正的殿,因為神的聖靈住在我們的心上。無論教堂多麽華麗,無非是悅人的眼目和展示人的建築能力(即人的榮耀)而已。

說到敬拜,基督徒需要用聖靈和真理來敬拜, 聖靈住在我們心裏,而真理是耶穌。因此,耶穌曾說,拜父既不在這山上,也不在耶路撒冷(耶路撒冷有豪華的聖殿)。敬拜用聖靈和耶穌足以,不論是在教堂還是不在教堂!


耶穌隻在聖殿裏麵講道嗎?耶穌的門徒隻在聖殿裏聽道嗎?耶穌講道可謂隨時隨地: 在船上,在河邊,在山上,在坐席的時候,在行路的時候,在門徒家裏......天父賜耶穌聖靈是沒有限量的,他講的都是從父那裏聽來的真理,他的講道都是在敬拜父和榮耀父! 

有專門的教堂傳道聽道,是為了傳揚和鞏固主的愛與福音; 同樣,隨時隨地的傳道聽道,也是傳揚和鞏固主的愛與福音。可見,福音的傳揚是不拘一格的! 隻是注意這道必須是持守耶穌基督的道,如果不是,就不要歡迎它。
